  1. Is there anyone on fedi that repairs or is interested in old TVs?

    I have an old Ferguson fault diagnosis pocket book for the TX90 & TX100 chassis. I'm happy to post it to anyone that could get use out of it.

    Boosts appreciated.

  7. Building a house without bricks - Print & Sewing Open Space

    OT301, Friday, June 12 at 02:00 PM GMT+2

    Genre: Workspace
    Open: 14:00 - 19:00 hrs
    Tickets: € 0

    The Print & Sewing Open Space is an ongoing, travelling project consisting of a modular and mobile accumulation of collectively owned — and borrowed — print, publishing, textile, and making resources, including a risograph machine, library shelves, book-making materials, sewing tools, and a DIY screenprinting table, among others.

    Activated across Café Gilde and Ventilator Bar, the Print & Sewing Open Space functions as an open workspace, library, and kiosk where guests, collaborators, and friends — current and soon-to-be — can come together to print, sew, bind, mend, repair, publish, and experiment collectively. We are interested in sharing and exchanging DIY techniques of printing, binding, sewing, and publishing, making these tools and practices accessible to wider communities.

    Rooted in the interrelation between self-publishing and textile practices as political tools to disseminate our own knowledges, the space will host workshops that merge both disciplines — from bookbinding with textiles and collective publishing to garment repair, sewing for collectives, and other hands-on experiments.

    The Open Space also includes a library of publications contributed by members of damdam and its broader ecosystem. Workshops and activities will be announced via damdam’s Instagram.

  9. I am now the owner of a soldering station.
    All I need now is some solder, some flux, a soldering wick, and a bunch of capacitors and then (if I succeed) my studio monitors will hopefully have several more years of life in them.

  14. One of my favourite kitchen knives has a pretty ordinary moulded plastic handle, which snapped in half just before the end of the tang (i.e., there was less than 10mm of the tang protruding after the break).

    I tried to glue it back together using two-part epoxy without creating a bunch of glue squeeze-out, but it was a mistake. The joint came apart again within a few minutes of use. So I tried again, without trying to reduce squeeze-out, and this joint is already much stronger and has withstood a fair bit of forceful pushing and pulling by hand, even though there's a bit of a void on the far side. I'll slice off the squeeze-out seen here with a sharp knife, and fill in the void with a tiny bit of the same epoxy.

  17. I have a Braun electric trimmer whose battery barely holds a full charge for a minute these days. Filled with repair optimism, I thought I would try to take it apart and see if I could replace the battery… but I cannot find any way to open it in the first place. There's just no "give" anywhere in the body, and no apparent fasteners either.

    Do I want to hit it with an axe or fire up the angle grinder?

  21. A few days ago I visited, Nehru Place, one of the India's largest computer/ IT / peripherals / business service provider markets. A place for New, 2nd Hand, nth hand, repurposing, repairing , original, ahem-not-original IT things.

    A friend helped me find a reliable place to change the keyboard on a Thinkpad E14 early gen. It required the complete removal of the entire computer & some unsoldering & soldering. All done in about 90 minutes. Wow.

  26. For several years I've known I need to fix the gas control valve for our propane hot air furnace in the summer -- when we don't need heat 😉

    There are two solenoids that operate the gas valve and the electrical connector is poorly designed and over time the electrical connection becomes unreliable.

    Real repair and photos from October 2024 later on in the thread.

  31. I have two otherwise fine phones that are unusable in practice due to dead lithium ion batteries, a Pixel XL and a Pixel 4a.

    Is there any way to have them repaired for a price that makes sense over buying a new device? Looks like ~$100 each for a repair and that's, what, 4-6 years of life max?

    Hoping my current phone holds out until an option with a replaceable battery is viable. Remember when tech got better, not worse?
